[Ring master]

Whats happened to Palace's defense this season?

Everytime I watch them they look all over the place.

Only west brom conceeded more

 

[Mkjjones]

Can we buy soucek? He’s the Czech fellaini! lol

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Soucek wont be at WHU for too long.

Another Payet he is proper player.

Playing for Moyes suits him. But, yeah, I agree that he's going to be on some radars in the summer.

They were decent early in the season and haven’t completely fell of it.

 

[Guru888]

West Ham look a good side

 

[Mkjjones]

West Ham above us most probably, Moyes has his side, I think they will do very well this season like he did for us.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Surely the Moyes bottle job has to happen soon?

Hopefully ours, we’d have a right handful of a midfield

I think it's worth pointing out that they haven't actually changed the law whatsoever.

They've simply made a clarification as how a specific situation should be judged in regards to when a player is deemed to be "interfering" after being in an offside position when the ball is played to him by a teammate. Which they do all the time, there are numerous videos and pics which denote match incidents and how they fit it the law, or how the law fits them.

It's the nature of the offside law as it stands now that it isn't a simple black and white decision, it is down to the refs interpretation that he makes based on how the law is written and the guidelines and clarifications issued by IFAB.

But even with that all they cannot cover every single incident that might occur during a game of football, hence incidents like Rodri and Mings that pretty much no one can agree on. But it happened and they've clarified that from now on it should be given offside. Thats kinda how lawmaking in football has worked over the years.

How about looking at it from another angle? Say the referee had said that it was a foul (offside offense or whatever) and given Villa a free kick, subsequently City kick up a stink and claim that Rodri wasn't offside at the time of getting the ball from Mings? Would they have come out with a clarification giving a ruling the other way? It isn't as if this situation happens very commonly in games otherwise why all the controversy? They would have been better off letting it go, otherwise they are going to have to start making a ruling every time there's a controversial incident in any game.

Benched Soucek this gameweek

 

[MikeH72]

Don’t know how Palace aren’t closer to the relegation zone than they are, terrible side with a terrible manager.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

West Ham above us

Having played 3 more games? Cheer up lollol

 

[Bullens Rd]

Moist is doing a most splendid job this season. Most splendid.

Yeah, I agree. I am Czech, not a Slavia fan by any stretch, but, for me I would want to look at Souček and Aguissa at Fulham. They could bully other teams.
